I feel like I just walked into the shop and got everything I needed to setup a perfect angel aquarium. 🎉 thanks for being great at your job/passion/hobby!
Totally true, back in the day of silver sharks, common plecos and clown loach they were in everyone's tanks! I guess we have access to so many cool species now I think everything is less popular than it used to be.
@FishShopMatt. I’m new to this aquarium thing, having inherited a tank with an angelfish and four other fishes a couple months ago. I’ve added 4 more angelfish without issues, and numerous tetras, as well as gotten rid of the icky plastic plants and planted it instead. Knock on wood, all are doing well. My question is… what kind of plant have you put in the top back left of the tank? I would guess a peace lily, but I don’t want to put anything in that will harm my fish! Thanks in advance!
what sort of plants would you do for the set up, I've got giant vail wanting to get thin vail and I have amazon swords? would that be adequate? also i'm wanting to put 4 or 6 in with congo rainbows and rummy nose would that be ok in your opinion ?
It's such a tricky question to be honest, with great filtration, lots of plants and regular changes you could probably get 20 or more in there. But the more you have the easier it is to get it wrong. ❤️
I am going to say the only way that could have been better , if you were kicking my ass playing table tennis in front of the huge crowd of your subscribers as you're going on about the Angels and the whole time MD is just being so loud and distracting me and then I wake up and " Sweet a new one from Fish Shop Matt....I know I am always better holding a morning cup of coffee than playing ping pong and the way you can spin your serve I think it is better for the 2 of us to play some 3 cushion billiards and MD takes on the winner 🥇
Hi Matt, from singapore here. Do you think keeping a grp of 4 angelfish in a 3ft/90-100cm fishtank will be a good idea? like will it be big enough even when they are adults?
Hey 👋👋👋 You should have enough space but just keep an eye on pairing up and aggression. Also make sure they can't see each other all the time, this can easily be achieved with wood, rocks and plants.
Hello! I was wondering if mixing different angels would be ok? I’m wanting to get two panda Angel fish and 1 black Angel fish. Originally I was going to get just three pandas but now I kinda wanna mix it up a bit.
Awesome video! Came from MD fishtanks to you :) Im thinking of getting a group of Angel fish in my Aquarium (265L, 55 height, 40 deep, 120 long). Would that work? I guess it will be way to small for the group once they get adults though? Would rummy nose tetra be good schooling fish for them? I have cardinal tetras in my tank now but they might be snacks..
I have a question about Angelfish My Panda Angelfish I got from my LFS died but my pair of Bolivian Rams I bought on from a seller on ebay Sep 26 Paid Sep 26 Shipped Sep 28 Delivered are still thriving my question is why would my Angelfish dime size die within 2 days ??
I’m a customer of Matt’s, this guy and his team are legendary. Always greeted with a smile and time to talk about my set up always happy to answer questions.
Awesome video's Matt! You and MD got me back into the hobby and on the hunt for a community for my tank. Used to have a Red -Tailed Black shark, would love to get your opinion how to include that one in a community. Greetings from The Netherlands!
Lovely fish.such a shame they can be a pain though 😢everyone has there own personality,I’ve 6 pure black.with the red eyes.I call them my Devil 👿 fish..I definitely wouldn’t trust them with neons or Cardinals.lights out.when morning comes you could find a few missing.definitely large tanks for these fish.i buy some fish on line.but when doing this be very careful who the courier is 👌🏻some don’t give a sh-t what’s inside the box.and a lot can’t read either.will have to pop up to wellington as I’m only down the road in tivvy.but once there I find it hard not to spend :-) I’m like a kid in a sweet shop…steve,Tivvy 🇬🇧
Matt would love to see "biotope" or area specific videos where you highlight fish/plant/inverts from different places and what the " natural " habitat looks like. Also what fish do well together for the best behaviors. Lolz
Thanks for the info! My angelfish is a bastard ... he killed his partner Zena, almost killed his next girlfriend Aphrodite, but I rescued her ... caught him in the act. Now I have 2 angelfish in 2 smallish tanks. (I will upgrade) I used to think they were lovely fish, now I just find them annoying!
I would like to keep angel fish, but i think my 100L is a bit on the small side for a group of 6 or more. I would like a 240L or larger but i also intend on moving house, it was hard enough moving the 100L when i got new carpets. I guess i will have to wait :( I like these deep dives into a particular type of fish, very good info for future reference! Thanks.
brilliant. Thank you Fish Shop Matt. My Grandfather used to breed and sell angelfish and he is the one that nurtured my nature love for nature and also the aquarium hobby, so angelfish alway remind me of him. Big love from 'across the pond' in the USA.
Thanks Matt! Great advice, I've got two pair a angelfish and they have bread many times. But they are terrible parents. They eat them everytime. Maybe one day they will figure it out.
I have two angelfish in a 10 gallon quarantine now, but I don't necessarily want more angelfish babies in there. I don't know if they are male or female. I don't necessarily want more babies in there. What if I put a pictus cat in there? Will he keep the population down if they DO have babies?? Thanks! Love ur vids!! :) PS. I'd like to eventually put them in with my 3 rainbow fish in a 45 gallon tank. Do you think that would work? :)
They are predominantly a soft water cichlid when it comes to the wild strains. But they've been bred in captivity for so long they probably don't care too much anymore, wild caught ones will always require soft water in my opinion.
Loving your videos so much. Would absolutely love you to do a shrimp files / a special edition Neo Caradina fish files maybe 🙏🏻 your fish shop is very lucky to have you , keep on smashing it 😀. Rachael , Oxfordshire, (boyfriends account!
Thank you very much for this Matt. I'm planning on returning to the hobby after a long break and am considering keeping angels again. Although you covered suggested numbers, you didn't specify a tank size. I have a Juwel Rio 125 and would like to keep a shoal of neons (mindful of their size!), a few angels and some top and bottom dwellers - any suggestions as to species and numbers please (with the exception of the angels I prefer smaller fish)?
Generally it's a fungus/unfertilised eggs, your male may not be mature enough yet, he maybe infertile or you may have two girls laying eggs. I've seen two females laying eggs before simulating pairing up but obviously not having anyone to fertilise them.
Hi Matt! I’m setting up a 75 gallon planted community centered around 5ish Angelfish, so I’ve been watching a lot of “Top 10 fish you can keep with angels” videos. Most lists have several species of dwarf cichlids taking up multiple slots, for example, Rams, Kribensis, Apistogramma, even Blue Acara. I think I’ve settled on a single pair of rams, but my question is, can all those Cichlids be kept in the same tank or is it a “pick one” situation?
Hi there, I'm setting up a 55 gallon tank right now and would love to have angels as my centerpiece fish, but I'm concerned about them breeding and overloading the tank. I don't really have the facilities to be able to handle a bunch of baby angels, nor do I have the space to expand my tank setup to accommodate them. Is there any way to prevent breeding, or should I maybe just look at other fish to put in my tank?
I know this is like a year ago now, but what size tank would you recommend for a group of 6 angelfish? I have a 240l 4ft tank 18 inches or so of depth with the not including the substrate..would that be suitable?
Greetings from Maryland🇺🇸. Thanks for such a great video. I love Angel’s!!! I must say, your recording and editing techniques are coming along quite nicely!! Bravo. It’s also awesome to see more of your personality and sense of humor coming through in your videos😁. Of course, your knowledge is outstanding (as always). Keep the videos coming, Matt!!!🐠🌱🐟🌱❤️
Hi mat love this , I have 1 male on his own , just about full grown now , when I bought him he came with a female , I was told he killed all the other angels in the tank , unfortunately his female died when I had velvet in the tank , I would like to add some more in there but not quite sure how to go about it ? Unfortunately my other tank has some nippy tetras in so if it goes wrong I couldn't put them in there , loving your channel
Thank you! ❤️ Sorry to hear this, probably the only way of trying to add more angels is to add a small group of around 3 or more. This was the angels can group up if they feel threatened or stressed. It will still be a risk but I would hope you could do it. Also worth slightly rearranging the tank before the newbies go in as this will then distract your male from his territory.
Hi Matt, Just came across your channel and subscribed pretty much straight away great content bud. I’m upgrading to a Juwel Rio 350 (4ft) in the not too distant future and have been trying to do some research on what I could keep as a relatively peaceful centrepiece fish to base the scape/stocking around. Do you think a single Severum would do ok in a tank this size or is it sill pushing it a bit for size? Or a couple of Electric Blue Acaras? I have kept Keyholes before which are lovely but was looking for something a bit bigger and eye-catching, I know people often keep keyholes with Angels but as you probably know with the Angels they can go a bit rogue and terrorise everything. Any ideas or opinions would be much appreciated. Cheers
A severum would be fine in this size, another one to look at is the festive cichlid as these are a little smaller and you could have a little group or maybe something like a pearl gourami if you want to go even more peaceful.
@@FishShopMatt thanks for taking the time to get back. I do like Pearls aswell to be fair, had toyed with the idea of an Asian style setup with Pearls & some sort of Rasbora or maybe Pentazona Barb, at least that way I could still keep live plants.
@@brianwatt8927 no problems I will always try to reply but it does get tricky with a lot of messages and comments. That's what I was thinking, the other option is having a look at some of the larger rainbow fish but you would ideally need a good shoal of them so not really a focal point fish.
how many adult angelfish in all can i put in an 80 gallon tank( size 60inch long x 18 inch high x 18 inch deep) that i dont need to separate in the future..till now i have 4 juvenile of 7cm that are 3 marbles and 1 black...can i add more also if possible pairs? I need them to still be here as there permanent home..also i have some giant danios can i put them with them??
I would love to keep angelfish, as they're incredibly beautiful fish. Do you reckon that they can work with black widow tetras, or are they too likely to fin nip?
My angel fish died this weekend after about 2 weeks being in an aquarium with 2 blood parrots. I only had one of my 2 filters set up at the time. Maybe it got bullied. I don't know, but I really appreciated your species topic on angle fish. Thank you Matt.
Great species spotlight! I have a pair of angels (male and female and occasionally spawn) in a 66 gal with Corydoras and glowlight tetras. It seems a happy balance.
great video as always! idk if i missed it but what size would be ideal for a group of six? im considering on getting 4 angels and 10 corrydoras for a 37 gallon tank :)))
Matt, I live up in Northern British Columbia, and I have a small 135 gal pond I have built on the stairs outside my basement suite. It started out with comets/goldfish with a few big Plecos too, but by the end of the summer, I had about 8 10 Angelfish out there too. I have 3 300w Eheim heaters in there, and monitor temp with a digital thermometer closely. In very late fall * about two weeks ago this year) I drain most of tank, capture angels and plecos, and bring them inside to a 135 gallon I have just for them. I refill pond, and over a week or so, start turning the temp on the heaters down and down till it is off. With the bubbler running, it is all the rosy minnows and comets need. The white comets start turning grey as soon as the temp starts going down . The fish are all pretty spectacular to watch all summer. And WHO woulda thought Angels as an actual pond fish???
Would you recommend keeping them solo? It seems like that would avoid all of the aggression issues, but some say they're a social species and prefer to be in groups
how do you have so many angel fish in thank tank at 12:00 ? I was told angel fish would need a minimum of 10G for each one otherwise it will be overstocked and will die
We don't have a fish shop here in northern NY. I had to order mine that I had. I did get a pair out of the 6 I bought, but they ate the babies every time, out of the 4 times they bred, before my hip arthritis made me have to sell all my tanks. The angels I got were very skittish, and darted off in all directions, everytime anyone approached their tank. They never outgrew that, and I don't know why they were like that. I always thought that they were perhaps bred and grew in huge ponds, and had never seen people, or been in an aquarium situation. Any thoughts on that? I'd like to have a tank again, maybe one I could manage, a small one perhaps, and only one, not the 6 big and small ones I had before. Off topic of angels, I also bought a few bristle nose plecos, Who had no problem breeding! I absolutely loved those little guys! I had 6, some albino, and some dark ones. Have to say, they were my favorites, of all my fish. My babies were mixed, and adorable! Anyhow, sorry for the long reply. Loving your videos, thank you. And your collabs with MD also have been great!
Sorry to hear you had to downsize, at least you have all the wonderful videos on RUclips to watch. Angels normally aren't too skittish, I've seen confident fish become skittish before due to loose eletrical current in the water. Other than that it may have been a issue with how they were raised before you got them, like you say kept in a pond with little to no human interaction. That's awesome you should definitely get an aquarium, let me know how you get on! ❤️❤️❤️
I just recently got my first aquarium and it is a 30 gallon high. I was hoping to put two angelfish in it. So are you telling me that my tank size is too small?
It's tricky to say but as long as they're not constantly fighting to swim against a current you should be fine. Most externals running on a spray bar should be perfect, as this will diffuse the flow nicely. ❤️
I had two baby Angelfish that were fine in the community tank until they grew up. One started bullying the other so it was rehomed. The other Angelfish seems to be happy living on her own with the other fish & doesn’t seem to eat their babies (she is well fed).
Iv got right into the hobby think iv watched every one of md's videos and same with yourself learned lots between yous. My house is full of reptile tanks but now getting taken over by fish tanks haha ♥ 🐠. I'm going to be needing to get me some of his merch.
Great video Matt. You have become one of my top fish tank spots. Well, i only watch you, MD, and KG Tropical regularly. Love it. Keep'em coming, please. Can't wait for the next.
One of my favorite fish to keep, amazing looking and easier than discus to care for.
Absolutely! ❤️
I feel like I just walked into the shop and got everything I needed to setup a perfect angel aquarium. 🎉 thanks for being great at your job/passion/hobby!
That's exactly how I want these videos to be, so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
You. Are indeed great❣️❣️❣️
When I was a kid every tropical tank had Angel Fish. Fair to say they aren’t quite as popular but kinda find them more interesting after this
Totally true, back in the day of silver sharks, common plecos and clown loach they were in everyone's tanks!
I guess we have access to so many cool species now I think everything is less popular than it used to be.
Already casting from tv, ready 🙌
Awesome! ❤️
Good video❤
Deadly bro. Well done.
Thank you ❤️
Was waiting for this one 😁 my angels are definitely not angels 😇
Yeah very few angels are 🤣🤣🤣
we need a fish file; shrimp edition on neocardina and cardina shrimps soon!
On its way!! ❤️

I enjoy it Matt cool informative keep it up ,, and I like you better than MD the guy that bully you and making fun of you any way good job mate 👍
Will you please answer a question? How many neon tetras can I put in a 60 liter tank Aquascaped tank?
It's such a tricky question to be honest, with great filtration, lots of plants and regular changes you could probably get 20 or more in there.
But the more you have the easier it is to get it wrong. ❤️

🤣🤣 sometimes they are terrible, fingers crossed for them getting better.
Thabk you so much for the respond I am hoping as well. 🤞
I had a dwarf angel in amongst my other angles, there was no problems until I had to go away for 3 weeks then they murdered the dwarf angel.
That's a shame, I've seen dwarf angels listed on order forms before. Always worried they are just selling me baby normal sized ones 🤣🤣🤣
can i keep endlers and black neon tetra
Matt. Any chance of a “Fish” files on African Dwarf Frogs ?
Nice Tanks Detroit lol
What is that plant growing out of Discuss aquarium?
It's a peace lily (Spathiphyllum) there is also some cuttings of Swiss cheese plant (Monstera) mixed in but these are few in number.
Thank you Matt! I appreciate your videos and visiting your shop. I wish you were on the other side of the pond! lol
Thank you! You never know what the future may hold? 🤣🤣🤣
Hi please do a video on diy co2 (baking soda and citric acid method) ♥
Will add it to my list, it's been a long time since I done this. Was brilliant fun though and worked quite well.
What’s the Best way to add more Angels to a tank of adults?
It's tricky, but I would always recommend adding in groups. That way the juveniles can group together if they feel stressed or threatened.
I have two angelfish in a 10 gallon quarantine now, but I don't necessarily want more angelfish babies in there. I don't know if they are male or female. I don't necessarily want more babies in there. What if I put a pictus cat in there? Will he keep the population down if they DO have babies?? Thanks! Love ur vids!! :) PS. I'd like to eventually put them in with my 3 rainbow fish in a 45 gallon tank. Do you think that would work? :)
Once a cichlid always a cichlid lol. They have attitude 🤣 certainly dont live up to their name
Absolutely spot on 🤣🤣🤣
Angles do excellent in hard water. After all they are a cichlid
They are predominantly a soft water cichlid when it comes to the wild strains. But they've been bred in captivity for so long they probably don't care too much anymore, wild caught ones will always require soft water in my opinion.
I've got 12 in a 55 inch long aquarium

Great video Matt. Why would angelfish eggs go white? I have mine spawning but never see wrigglers
Generally it's a fungus/unfertilised eggs, your male may not be mature enough yet, he maybe infertile or you may have two girls laying eggs.
I've seen two females laying eggs before simulating pairing up but obviously not having anyone to fertilise them.

how many adult angelfish in all can i put in an 80 gallon tank( size 60inch long x 18 inch high x 18 inch deep) that i dont need to separate in the future..till now i have 4 juvenile of 7cm that are 3 marbles and 1 black...can i add more also if possible pairs? I need them to still be here as there permanent home..also i have some giant danios can i put them with them??
I would love to keep angelfish, as they're incredibly beautiful fish. Do you reckon that they can work with black widow tetras, or are they too likely to fin nip?
My angel fish died this weekend after about 2 weeks being in an aquarium with 2 blood parrots. I only had one of my 2 filters set up at the time. Maybe it got bullied. I don't know, but I really appreciated your species topic on angle fish. Thank you Matt.
And if you don’t want to deal with new fry just scrape the egg so it’s food. I don’t have time to hatch 🐣 babies.
Great species spotlight! I have a pair of angels (male and female and occasionally spawn) in a 66 gal with Corydoras and glowlight tetras. It seems a happy balance.
Can you keep one Angel in 75 g community? That way they don’t fight amongst each other?
great video as always! idk if i missed it but what size would be ideal for a group of six?
im considering on getting 4 angels and 10 corrydoras for a 37 gallon tank :)))
Matt, I live up in Northern British Columbia, and I have a small 135 gal pond I have built on the stairs outside my basement suite. It started out with comets/goldfish with a few big Plecos too, but by the end of the summer, I had about 8 10 Angelfish out there too. I have 3 300w Eheim heaters in there, and monitor temp with a digital thermometer closely. In very late fall * about two weeks ago this year) I drain most of tank, capture angels and plecos, and bring them inside to a 135 gallon I have just for them. I refill pond, and over a week or so, start turning the temp on the heaters down and down till it is off. With the bubbler running, it is all the rosy minnows and comets need. The white comets start turning grey as soon as the temp starts going down . The fish are all pretty spectacular to watch all summer. And WHO woulda thought Angels as an actual pond fish???
Hi! Can you Email your ceo and tell them to open a Maidenhead down near Dover so I can apply for my dream job! Thanks. 👌
Would you recommend keeping them solo? It seems like that would avoid all of the aggression issues, but some say they're a social species and prefer to be in groups
how do you have so many angel fish in thank tank at 12:00 ? I was told angel fish would need a minimum of 10G for each one
otherwise it will be overstocked and will die
We don't have a fish shop here in northern NY. I had to order mine that I had. I did get a pair out of the 6 I bought, but they ate the babies every time, out of the 4 times they bred, before my hip arthritis made me have to sell all my tanks. The angels I got were very skittish, and darted off in all directions, everytime anyone approached their tank. They never outgrew that, and I don't know why they were like that. I always thought that they were perhaps bred and grew in huge ponds, and had never seen people, or been in an aquarium situation. Any thoughts on that? I'd like to have a tank again, maybe one I could manage, a small one perhaps, and only one, not the 6 big and small ones I had before. Off topic of angels, I also bought a few bristle nose plecos, Who had no problem breeding! I absolutely loved those little guys! I had 6, some albino, and some dark ones. Have to say, they were my favorites, of all my fish. My babies were mixed, and adorable! Anyhow, sorry for the long reply. Loving your videos, thank you. And your collabs with MD also have been great!
Sorry to hear you had to downsize, at least you have all the wonderful videos on RUclips to watch.
Angels normally aren't too skittish, I've seen confident fish become skittish before due to loose eletrical current in the water. Other than that it may have been a issue with how they were raised before you got them, like you say kept in a pond with little to no human interaction.
That's awesome you should definitely get an aquarium, let me know how you get on! ❤️❤️❤️
I just recently got my first aquarium and it is a 30 gallon high. I was hoping to put two angelfish in it. So are you telling me that my tank size is too small?
Another great video mate. Loving the fish facts. Have angles myself so good to learn a bit more. Keep em coming matt.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. ❤️❤️❤️
I’d never put barbs in an angelfish tank regardless of size.
how much flow is too much flow?
It's tricky to say but as long as they're not constantly fighting to swim against a current you should be fine. Most externals running on a spray bar should be perfect, as this will diffuse the flow nicely. ❤️
Is there any particular angel fish that u can not keep with another angel fish … are all angelfish compatible with each other?
My large angels get aggressive when they lay eggs sometimes fertile sometimes duds but they chase others.
This was very informative and entertaining. I love the look of angelfish but I knew nothing about them before this video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
G’day fish shop Matt, keep up the great work.
I would love to see more fish files vids.
Altolamrologus black calvus is one I am interested in.
Hey 👋 ooooo I will have to get some in so I can get some footage of them.
@@FishShopMatt hell yes!
Best fish hobbyist channel on youtube. Keep it up!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I had two baby Angelfish that were fine in the community tank until they grew up. One started bullying the other so it was rehomed. The other Angelfish seems to be happy living on her own with the other fish & doesn’t seem to eat their babies (she is well fed).
Yeah they can do fine on their own, sometimes it seems to work better certainly in a smaller aquarium.
Hey Matt, any chance you could do a Geophagus fish file covering the different varieties?
Yes I'm tempted to do a species file where I do a overview of a family group rather than an individual. I'll see how I get on with it! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice vlog. Hope you can also feature Altums and Leopolds...
I'm after some Leopold's so hopefully! ❤️
Brilliant lots of good stuff. And reping md merchandise
Thank you! Always reping MD merch he gave me my platform! Got to show the love and respect somehow ❤️❤️❤️
Iv got right into the hobby think iv watched every one of md's videos and same with yourself learned lots between yous. My house is full of reptile tanks but now getting taken over by fish tanks haha ♥ 🐠. I'm going to be needing to get me some of his merch.
How many adult angelfish can i keep in an 80 us gallon tank?
can 2 different breed of angelfish breed together ?
Betta next please
❤️❤️❤️
I'm about to say something, once you hear it, you won't be able to unhear it; Matt sounds like CP3O. Nostalgia. Good go at angelfish!
🤣🤣🤣🤖🤖🤖
I’ve always been wary of Angels due to how “different” they look and behave but they truly are beautiful!
Yeah you were right to be wary 🤣🤣🤣
@@FishShopMatt oh boy. I am planning a tank with angels even as we speak. 🤦♀🤷♀
We need a fish files on sparkling gouramis
On it! ❤️❤️❤️
Dwarf gourami profile please!😊
Great video Matt. You have become one of my top fish tank spots. Well, i only watch you, MD, and KG Tropical regularly. Love it. Keep'em coming, please. Can't wait for the next.
Thank you! So kind of you! ❤️❤️❤️
Same….
